This year, event organizers from the California Animal Welfare Association, the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are hoping that 5,000 animals will be adopted on June 7.

“We’re excited to participate in this important event, which we hope will highlight the many deserving and incredible animals in our care who are seeking new homes,” Karalyn Aronow, Vice President of Operations at East Bay SPCA, said in a statement. In Dublin and Oakland from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., certified animal trainers will be on-site to answer questions about cat and dog behavior.
